I totally agree Richard, typical of the man that he didn't want to announce it last week with Bacon retiring and Mancini getting sacked, oh no he wanted wall to wall breaking news. If he had played for any other PL team he would have become just another average player.Never have I seen a so called "world class player" so useless, he couldn't tackle, couldn't head, couldn't beat a man with pace or skill. Shooting was his forte. Nothing else and a real prima-dona too.
